Who knew…
How softly your paws would pad to the door, just before I enter.
How your hazel eyes would gaze and melt with joy when the new day dawns.
How your sleeping yelps would replay the joys of the day.
How you would, one day, sit in front of a blown-open door for an hour, guarding the house until we returned to find you there.
Who knew…

They have a habit of doing that don’t they? That and lying by the door ten minutes before you’re due home. Lovely post Steve.

I really loved this short piece about your sweet dog, Steve. Yes, every time I lose one of mine to old age of some disastrous illness, it feels like a piece of me has disappeared too. I remember so many sweet things such as those you wrote about. Beautiful for sure. . .

They are like another type of friend in this world, and each one has their very special personality traits and beauty of friendship with us. I so love creatures, and I am glad that I was born with this or learned it early in life because it really enhances life in so many ways. Thank you kindly, Steve.
